pistols are for fighting your way to a long gun,
shot inside, rifle outside.
Yep, shotguns rule for that kind of work. I don't have one right now so have to rely on my handguns but a basic cheap pump 12GA with a light on the nosepiece is on my "to get - soon" list.
I don't feel undergunned, however, with my Lazergrip equipped Colt delta elite 10mm shooting 180gr Gold Dots.
